Song Lyrics:

From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, our faces frozen stiff
Against the wind

The seam was split
The coal-face cracked
The lines were so long
we couldn’t see to the back

We were making steel
They were made of stone
Now our labour day
Has come and gone

You kept me holdin’ on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go out, I am…

Hangin’ on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m still waiting
I’m hangin’ on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to

The glass is cut
And the bottles run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night

We’re wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
But you cannot live without

‘Cause you keep me holdin’ on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go out I am…

Hangin’ on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m still waiting
I’m hangin’ on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to

We scorch the earth
and we set fire to the sky
we stoop so low
To reach so high

A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For night to come
And it comes like a monster to a child

I’m hangin’ on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m still waiting
I’m hangin’ on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to

Our love, slowly stripped away
Our love has seen its better days
Love slowly stripped away
Our love has seen its better day
Lights go down on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill Town
The lights go down on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill Town…
